leilanidude - most are not hired on the 10 month schedule
Again, you demonstrate that you know nothing about how DOE actually works in Hawaii. Just go read something for once in your life instead of making stuff up, like SNAP causing high grocery prices, and $11K EITC for $48K income earners, and on, and on...

Most Hawaii teachers are 10-month employees that start out with no prior experience (the lowest left corner of the pay chart so $50k-$60k as previously stated). The current average for all teachers is like ~$78k given their additional professional development and experience. Those with more credentials like Special Education and ESL make more money - as would be expected for any job candidate with extra training and credentials. Making over $100K takes a PhD, plus more education, plus 30+ years experience. If some of those top-paid teachers work in the Pahoa system, then they've most certainly earned that pay and the schools are lucky to have the benefit of their expertise and experience.
As you say you have no problem with this, then what is your point in raising it? How does it relate to the price of groceries, which is the topic thread? In short, WTF are you on about this time (you naughty, naughty boy, lick that boot like you mean it... Maybe Punaweb needs a paid tier, only for the fans ;)
ETA: The AI summary above looks to be largely correct and may have used some of the same sources.
